"Brother," says the hump-tailed 'gator, "wouldn't you like a nice rabbit?""Indeed I would," answers the double-jointed tail 'gator, who can wobble his flippers both ways. "And I know of no nicer rabbit than Uncle Wiggily Longears!"As it so happens, Uncle Wiggily has just planned his vacation. He and Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy will leave the countryside and take a nice little bungalow in the woods.And the woods is where these two skillery-scalery alligators live -- who are not exactly friends of the bunny uncle! But the cheerful rabbit gentleman knows plenty of friendlier creatures, too -- whom readers young and old will delight in meeting, in Uncle Wiggily in the Woods.

Out in the woods lives a happy rabbit gentleman named Uncle Wiggily Longears. As fond of fun as a kitten, he goes out to play whenever the young ones come visiting. One chilly, wintry day he leaves his cozy bungalow and puts on his mittens to go for a ride in his wonderful airship -- and once aloft meets with a big surprise: for he sees a great white gander flying toward him -- with Mother Goose riding on back! Uncle Wiggily faces a host of new adventures -- and finds a wealth of new friends to enjoy them with. Little Bo Peep, Jack Horner, Simple Simon, Miss Muffett, and Old King Cole are just a few of the nursery-rhyme characters the happy rabbit gentleman is to meet!
